State of the Projects: February

I could talk about love, but I'm saving that for Thursday. Yes, Thursday.

Instead, here's a little update about what's circulating and what's percolating.

Expertise Hours: 4086.5. Only 5913.5 left to go!

Sold and In the Wings:
O-Taga-San to Flyleaf press at Drollerie. Waiting for line edits.

Circulating:
Empress Dark out at Abyss and Apex
Mark Twain's Daughter out at Tor.com. (Probably going to send a query in March, at which point they'll have had it for a year.)
The Winter the Troll Danced with Old Nick: Currently with 13 agents and 1 publisher.

Creating:
The Were-humans: Feedback from Vegas suggests it might be a better novel than a novella. I'm thinking about that. Lots of good revision ideas. Gonna dig deep.
The Klarion Books: I've done extensive plot notes and background research for the first four, and background research for all five.
Book One: Begun drafting.
The Substance of Shadows: Begun revising substantially.

Researching
Putting together trip to Norway to garner information for successive troll and frost elf books.
Purchasing and reading poison references for Klarion books.
Reading psychological profiles of the six-year old and grief.

That's what I'm doing in my writing time. How's about you?

Hot off the Press and Belated Publicity

I've been meaning to do this for a while. Now mass is critical!

J. Kathleen Cheney has a novella in the latest Abyss and Apex. Abyss and Apex has recently updated their whole site, and it looks great. Expect a review of this issue coming as soon as I can get to it. Also, this issue has stories by Vylar Kaftan and C.J. Cherryh.

L.K. Herndon, a fellow VP XIII'er made her first sale with, believe it or not, a were-flamingo story. Showoff is available at Silverblade.

TODAY Lisa Nohealani Morton has a story coming out in Hellebore and Rue, a new anthology from Drollerie. The anthology is edited by Catherine Lundoff and Joselle Vanderhooft.

Get out there and get reading.
